The Type 41 "Royale" was produced in very small numbers, but its engine was produced in slightly greater amounts. The straight-eight produced 300hp (in 1929) and they made about 30 of these engines. When production of the Type 41 ended in the mid-1930s (yes, seven years to build six cars), the remaining engines went to the French government to power trains!
All six cars were photographed together once, and the pictures appear in an issue of Automobile Quarterly from 10 years ago (or so).
The Type 41 is an amazing car and quite impressive to view in person.
